There are some embarrassing mistakes in the essay. The one that is truly unforgivable is that I confuse javelina with wild boar, and even misspell the word. “…torn to shreds as the havelina furiously tried to throw me off.” My only excuse is that I had only been to Texas that once, and I had heard people mention javelina. I just never bothered to ask if they were different from wild boar.

At any rate, those who are interested can read about the day I used up all of the luck God allotted me for my entire life.
